The New York Anarchist in Jail-How He
Was Nabbed.

NEW York, November 17.-Herr Most the
anarchist, has been arrested and taken to po-
lice headquarters. His arrest was made by
direction of Inspector Byrnes, on a warrant
issued by Justice Cowing today for having
made an incendiary Speech calculated to in
cite riot, last Saturday night, in a hall i'll
Seventh street. The warrant was made return
able before Justice Cowing. On Saturday
night wake was to be held by the anarchists
III Florence hall, in Second avenue, but
Captain McCullagh succeeded in getting his
officers there before the socialists arrived, and
made the place decidedly uncomfortable for
the indictments. But while this was going on,
Johann Most, with his companion, Lena
Fisher, was attending an anarchist meeting in
Seventh street. After the audience got well
warmed up Most made a speech which was
particularly bloodthirsty in character. IN
fortunately for Most, Patrolmen Rott and
Sechs, of the fourteenth precinct, were there
in civilians dress, taking notes. These memo
rand3 were brought to Superintend-
ent Murray and laid before him,
and on Monday search was begun
for the anarchist. He was not to be found.
There was every reason to believe that he had
left the jurisdiction of the state, and was in
hiding somewhere. Then the shrewdness of
Inspector Byrnes came into play. He knew
that if he made public quandary of the
police, Most would naturally learn of it and
he would stay out of the city indefinitely, so he
kept his mouth sealed and allowed the excite
ment of the search for Most to die out. Bail
was used. Most thought the trouble was gone
by, and yesterday, he came back to the city
and.went to work on his paper. Mr.. Byrnes
was informed of this, and early this morning
he went before the district attorney and pre-
scented the evidence he had obtained against
Most, and asked that the grand jury find an
indictment against him. The inspector and
seven witnesses gave testimony, and the in
dictment was found. In the meanwhile,
Most had been arrested.
Most insists that he did not use the language
attributed to him by the police. AS this is the
second time he has been arrested on the same
charge he will probably get the full extent of
the law, which is one years imprisonment with
fine.
New YORK, November 18.-Herr Most, the
anarchist, was arraigned in the court of general
sessions today and was admitted to bail in the
sum Of $1,000. The trial was set for the 22d
instant. Bail was furnished by Mrs. DR..
Julius Hoffman, who said she and her hus-
band had taken no part in the anarchiStic plots,
but were anarchists at heart.
The New Moon, Sun and q Star All Shine
While the Anarchists are Hanged.
DETROIT, November 15.-From accounts re-
ceived here from Ionia and Grand Rapids the
people of those places are awe struck at phe-
nomenon that occurred there on Friday and
Saturday. 1t was noted by all the people and
was described as follows Friday at Ionia, as
near as may be to the moment when the four
anarchists were in the thrOes of death on q
Chicago gallows, and the sun shining at its
full meridian splendor, in a clear sky, there
suddenly appeared in the western sky the new
moon, vieing in brlliancy with the sun. By
its side twinked a bright star.
For short time the two luminaries stood
out clearly in sight, while crowds gathered all
along the street marvelng at it. When all at
once the moon began to pale, the star fiekered
and faded and almost as suddenly as they came
they both melted away In the blne ether and
disappeared. Those who made note of the
time calculated that the moon and star burst
into view ut the same instant that the drop
fell in Chicago, and that their gradual disap-
pearance was concdent with the flight of the
anarchists spirits. The phenomenon was
observed ATTIC rand Rapids on Saturday at noon
but the star was in the order Of bright silver
cloud.
